Do you always get stuck on useless technicalities and completely ignore the real situation on the basis of your ignorance?
It's not a useless technicality. It isn't what you portrayed it as.
It was a fund that is used to pay off ALL claims of workplace litigation for an organization that employs thousands of people (not just 535 member of Congress but thousands of staff.)
The total amount doesn't tell us exactly what Congressmen committed what acts of Sexual Harassment or who the victims are.
And MORE IMPORTANTLY, these amounts were not reported on the offending congresspeople's federal campaign financing reports, even though keeping it quiet was a help to their campaign. It is a felony if the congressman did not put this on their form, and they need sent to prison.
Um. No. NOt even close. This fund covered all forms of workplace litigation, not just sexual harassment, and all members of Staff, not just the congressmen.
